To extract the boot sector from the original Windows 2000 bootable cd with Goldenhawk CDRWIN :

  1. Start CDRWIN and choose the “‘Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors”
  2. Select Extract mode “Select Sectors”
  3. Set image file to be (Drive Letter):\win2kboot\boot.bin
  4. Set File Format to be Automatic
  5. Set the sector selection to sector 20 (by setting start- and end-sector to 20)
